What I mean is that soap generally comes in 3 forms, puck, stick or cream. I know you can like them all as I do but if you had to stay with just one form which would it be?
For me it would be a stick.

What's your favorite form of soap?

I will often stick-ify a puck, so guess what I chose?
I can't seem to match puck efficiency with a stick. The surface area to apply is so small, then I have to essentially transfer soap from my face to the brush, only to have it relather on my face. I can get a fine shave with a stick, but I just don't relate as well to the process. It takes quite a bit more time, for basically the same result.
Puck.
Cream/Croap for me because the product finishes faster and that makes me feel happy

You just have to apply more to your face to start with.

A Croap would come in a puck form and a Cream is a cream of course. So which is your favorite? Cream or Puck?
I've found shaving sticks work better for me when I have 2+ days stubbles. I almost shave every day and I have to put extra effort for the stick to release enough soap.
I have no problems with creams but overall I prefer the puck as a format.

Puck
I prefer to load directly from the puck. Being a face latherer I find that I can get my lather's consistency just how I want it this way.
It's funny you posted this today Ron. I have a tub of Cyril R Salter Classic Almond shaving cream which I loved except for the fact that it was a cream. I left it curing in a cupboard (with the lid off) till it felt like a croap. (By weight, it's lost ~13% of its moisture.) I just had my first shave with my new CRS "Croap" today... Excellent!

My vote is for puck with cream creeping back into the scene.
Stick all the way
Stick is most efficient, but puck is far more enjoyable for me. I voted puck.
Puck for me, then tube of cream and stick last.

I do not have a heavy beard at all and I have no problem with a stick. And no problem with the second pass either. You don't need to have much stubble for a stick to work.
Well, if a croap is a puck, then puck it is... I say with a huge shiver going down my spine at the thought of losing my creams.
Never used a stick ever, but oddly enough, will be getting my first here in a couple of days. Should be interesting - I love the scent of sea buckthorn!

@Earcutter When you're done with that soap (Awesome scent BTW!), keep the container to put soaps'n'croaps into for either use at home or as a travel stick.
Hey, that’s a great idea. Thanks!

Yes, croaps work great as a stick. I put Cella in a tube and it's the best stick I have.
